Last month, my ChatGPT Pro subscription ended on the same day that my usage allowance was almost exhausted, with only about 2% remaining.
I renewed my Pro subscription immediately. However, after the renewal was completed, my usage allowance was still only 2%. In other words, even though I had already paid for a new month of Pro, I still had to wait about one week for my usage allowance to recover.
Since one month of Pro is only about four weeks, this effectively meant that I lost one week of the subscription I had just paid for.
I think there should be a clear warning before renewal, such as:
“Renewing your Pro subscription will not reset your current usage allowance. Your limit will recover according to the existing schedule.”
If I had known this in advance, I might have chosen to subscribe with another account instead.
I hope this can be improved, or at least made clearer to users before they renew.
